Ammunition small finds: rescue measures on Ludwig-Barnay-Platz

Ammunition small finds: rescue measures on Ludwig-Barnay-Platz

A planned rescue measure on Ludwig-Barnay-Platz on June 10, 2024 due to ammunition small finds from the Second World War leads to the exposure of a fire-fighting pond with ammunition residues and the felling of three trees (birch, linden, maple). The environmental and nature conservation office and the green spaces department are on site to accompany the measures. Despite the rescue measures, there is no direct risk to the residents:

The Ludwig-Barnay-Platz is located in a historically significant area, and the discovery of ammunition residues from World War II is a testimony to the eventful history of the place. The rescue measures are necessary to ensure public security and to eliminate potential risks through non -detonated explosive bodies.

The felling of the trees has local effects on the cityscape and the environment. Trees play an important role in the ecological balance and the city climate, so it is important that the measure is carried out carefully. The presence of the Environment and Nature Conservation Office as well as the green spaces department ensures a professional implementation of the felling.

It is hoped that the salvage measures on Ludwig-Barnay-Platz can be completed safely and efficiently in order to ensure public security and to maintain the historical importance of the place.
